One of my more popular winter shots, I liked the way the sky and the river kind of follow the same path through the trees

Ghosts of Our Past

I get asked often what my favorite photo of mine is... I think this is it. For many reasons, but mostly because I took it with intentions of it being a powerful image of the wall, able to show the vast amount of names on the wall while only showing partial names. the DOF worked out exactly as I planned, and everything just fell into place from there.

Here is my challenge for you…
Ready…
Yes I like ellipses….
Childhood, we all had one (or at least I hope) do you remember when getting a lollipop at the store with your parents was the greatest thing? Do you remember riding your bike for the first time? Do you remember your childhood? Well I hope that you do because it will help you with this challenge... (there they are again)
I want you to bring back childhood, capture the essence of childhood in one shot. This challenge was inspired by a friend of mine by the name of ~wrighton363 and his photo...

I love this because when I look at it I see a little girl who was all excited to go to Disney, she is wearing a princess outfit, she is looking at everything that she had built Disney up to be, and the expression on her face is... wow, it is her realizing that this is all of her dreams, all of her wishes come true, it shows innocence it shows beauty, it showsDescribe Childhood Through Photography by =simplyfate

Goodbye DA

:iconsimplyfate:

I am leaving DA, I am tired of the drama, I am tired of DA turning into a myspace. I joined this site for my art, to display it and to better myself as an artist, and I am not going to pretend like I was not able to, I found support, I found knowledge I found friends. But then came the drama, being banned from chats for hanging with the wrong people, being shunned for comments made out of jest or taken out of context. And now DA and this llama game, all of the april fools shenanigans, all of the garbage that the site has thrown at me over the years built up and annoyed the hell out of me, I used to support the site fully as you can see from my premium membership for the next 2 and a half years. But I feel ashamed sending people to my page to view my work because of the massive amount of hyjinx and trash that they have to sift through. If you want to find me you will, if you dont really care then thats fine as well.  

Thank you all that have helped and supported me, I bid you all well.

-Matt.

My name is Matt, I am from Northern Maine, and I am mostly a landscape photographer. I really fall in love with the locations that I go to shoot, you will likely see multiple shots from the same areas in my gallery, all with a different spin or take. I love shooting in Maine, just the vast emptiness is very alluring to me. Thank you for visiting my gallery, I hope you enjoy it.

Current Residence: Small Town USA

I wish you wouldn't have left. I'm just finding your profile and I really like your photos. Plus you're from Maine! I can never find other Deviants from Maine :)
I wish you'd reconsider...even though it's been well over a year.
